Teresa
Teresa Mizusawa is an active duty Marine Wife in the midst of her second deployment. She has been married over three years and has been in love for almost six. Her Marine joined the Corps two months after they wed and insists that at times she is jealous of the Corps since she had him first! She remains a steadfast spouse who is faithful to her love, the Corps and her country. Teresa started writing with the hope that she may be able to share with others what being a military wife is like, and possibly shed some light into what this life is all about. She hopes that you enjoy reading her posts and that they bring you some solace and inspiration no matter where you are in your life. You can find more of her writing on her personal blog Semper Fi Gypsy.
